Ines Latorre Barreiro

My name is Ines Latorre Barreiro, an interior design undergraduate student in my third year at Fort Hays State University, where I am also a member of the university's tennis team. Originally from Barcelona, Spain, my international background shapes my perspective and approach to design. I am highly adaptable and passionate about researching and exploring a wide range of design styles, allowing each project to respond thoughtfully to its context and purpose. With a strong attention to detail and a client-focused mindset, I strive to create spaces that are both functional and visually engaging.
